What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?

All the organs were deciding who should be the boss....

"I should be in charge," said the brain , "I run all the body's systems, without me nothing would happen."

"I should be in charge," said the heart , "I circulate oxygen and nutrients all over."

"No! I should be in charge," said the stomach, "I process the food that gives us energy."

"I should be in charge," said the legs, "without me the body couldn't go anywhere."

"I should be in charge," said the eyes, "I allow the body to see where it goes."

"I should be in charge," said the asshole, "I am responsible for waste removal."

All of the other body parts laughed at the asshole and insulted him. So he shut down. Within a few days, the brain had a terrible headache, the stomach was bloated, the legs got wobbly, the eyes got watery, and the heart pumped toxic blood. They all decided that the asshole should be the boss.

What is the moral of the story? Even though everybody else does all of the work some asshole is usually in charge.

@davetheoilguy , the heart perfuses all of the organs, including itself and the liver; the liver will die if it is not perfused for a long enough period of time (cardiac muscle will die a lot quicker from absence of perfusion).

When heart rhythm that produces a pulse ceases, one is clinically dead. Liver function can cease but that does not meet the criteria for clinical death. Liver cancer can have a favorable prognosis, and if it doesn’t you will still have time to get your affairs in order as quality of life declines. On the other hand, if you go into cardiac arrest, if you are not in the right place and around the right people your life expectancy usually drops to under ten minutes.

I think we’ve strayed a little off topic…..
